Parfois, nos comportements, nos pensées et nos sentiments sont le reflet immédiat de ce qui se passe dans le présent, mais à d'autres moments, ils traduisent les situations que nous avons vécues dans le passé. Principe de l'Analyse Transactionnelle(A.T).

It was such a wonderful spring/summer of biking, walking, running, rolling, kids learning to bike, families walking together, playing, spending time with friends, enjoying the peace and quiet of a car free space, and relaxing. So sad it’s over and already dreaming of next year.

Vagina Museum The biggest issue is not the cpr, but where you stick the defib pads if big breasts and remembering that it’s ok and absolutely necessary to cut bra off. This stuff doesn’t get discussed enough. Having done real life CPR on many people, the bra and pads need specific mention

E-cars were 9% of car sales in 2022, and the e-car fleet was under 17 million worldwide. E-bike sales were at 275 million. Politicians and policy-makers, stop ignoring, or underestimating, e-bikes. Via Treehugger.com #EBikeEffect treehugger.com/stop-ignoring-…

Great to see everyone out at the Critical Mass today. Merci! Cycling should always feel this safe. Until next time. A la prochaine. #criticalmass #ottawacriticalmass

The OC Transpo experience is leaving 1 hour early, waiting for over 30 mins with multiple schedules buses not showing up, and wondering if even though you left 1 hour early if you’re going to be late because no bus has shown up. OC Transpo #Ottawa

Yes this is what people who commute in Ottawa are going through every day. I am fortunate to be able to walk to work and not have to rely on transit but I hear so many stories of it taking people 2-3 hours on OC Transpo to get to work. We deserve better. #Ottawa

Does #Autowa have a pedestrian plan? If so, I would love to read it because our current plan seems to be to treat pedestrians as an inconvenience, blame pedestrians when they are injured or killed, and do nothing to make our roads safer for pedestrians. #Ottawa #OttWalk

Appreciate Sean Devine’s words on City of Ottawa’s Budget 2024, and specifically on the austerity approach to property taxes. (Image from his newsletter.)

It’s so frustrating how limited access to public bathrooms is in Ottawa. It’s so unfair that you have to be privileged and buy something to use the bathroom (other than the few secret bathrooms with limited hours). Public bathrooms should be a human right. #Ottawa

I’d love to go hiking, snowshoeing, and skiing in Gatineau Park during the winter but unfortunately it’s not very accessible by public transportation and there’s no shuttle during the winter so unfortunately those of us who don’t own a car can’t enjoy it.

Adrian Archer The park itself is accessible by transit from Hill and Chelsea but places in the park like trails or Camp Fortune (for skiing) are quite a ways from the bus stop. When I’ve taken STO or Transcolline I’ve had to walk quite a distance to the trailhead.

Adrian Archer And from Ottawa it’s 2-3 buses and 1-1.5 hours to the outer limits of the park vs a 20 minute drive. So it’s possible but not the most convenient.

Cycling infrastructure is not just about protected bike lanes. It’s in the little things. For example runnels that help with accessibility and connecting safely from one piece of infrastructure to the next. Here at Amsterdam central station. #CyclingInfrastructure
